I'm going to give Matrix 2 my vote, but that's not to say that I don't think Pirates Of The Caribbean Pwn's. :D I can't really say I liked one more then the other, but I think Matrix had me more fired up after seeing it. :D

Oh..and did anyone see Gigli? I've never before experienced such pain in my life... I left after about 45 minutes. Definitely one of the worst movies of all time. :D

Gosh, inflation, gas prices, and urban sprawl....all in the poll on best summer movie. Hmmm...maybe this is the crazy stuff forum. Oh well.

28 Days Later is the best!
Matrix and T3 pretty cool, but had about 10x more money.

Jacen, one of the problems of the cities in the US is the urban sprawl that developed over the last century. Many cities in the US don't have public transportation alternatives. Many of the jobs are in the downtown city areas, but the housing is in the outer city areas. For example, I have to travel 25 miles to work (each way). That is 50 miles a day and Memphis doesn't have a bus system that operates in my area so I HAVE to drive (and walking is obviously out of the question).
Memphis is one of the worst at urban sprawl. Although Phoenix is probably the worst. But this is a typical problem in US cities (except for New York, Chicago and a few others that have good public transportation systems). :(

Okay, don't strangle me if I'm wrong, 'cause I don't have a car (no, my parent's doesn't, either :P), and I think I heard it a long time ago: I think it's about $4 for nearly a gallon here...... again, not at all certain.

Real men walk or take the bus. :)

EDIT: Btw, the reason it's expensive here is that we don't have our own oil, we have to import it. Hell, DK is only 40.000 km2, not much space for oilfields. :)

Smily, that's cheap compare to gas in Europe from what I've been told. Most countries in Europe tax gas even more than our Federal and State governments over here.
BTW, 1 gallon is 3.78 litres for any Europeans that wanna compare gas prices. :)

I cast my vote for 28 Days later. I'm already seeing many articles reference it as a base, so I'm guessing it will become legend like Omega Man, Soylent Green, etc.

The others are good films, but they used a lot more money, bigger-name actors, super special effects, etc.

I'd put 28 Days later as an equal in how good of a movie it was, to all the others, but when you look at what 28 Days Later had to accomplish, between the actors, budget, storyline, and limited releases, it did a lot better than any of the others.

So it was the underdog that kept up with the other big-budget films. So it gets my vote.

That theater you're talking about isn't called The Rave, is it? That's the theater I go to. :D And the price is pretty much the same...$5-6

Wanna know what my name means? Peralos Ale'Velkyrii: Perilous Drunken Angel, or PDA for short. :P
Perilous, because I'm bound to get into fights I can't win. Drunken, because ALE! Angel, because a valkyrie is basically an angel of Odin.
I'm here to send you to the afterlife, but I can't gurantee I'll be stable enough to win a fight. :D

I might not have been to a 'giant ass theater' after American scale, but I have been in somewhat large theaters. And yes, the sound does pwn (weeee, THX). But that isn't really good enough for me to go in there and spend lots of money.

I hate watching movies in the theater, might as well wait a year or three and watch it for free in TV.

Smily, what are ticket prices like in NY these days? In Memphis you can see a Matinee for around $5 to $6. Regular price is usually $7.50.

And I am a HUGE movie buff. I not only go see most of the movies at the theatre, but have a large DVD collection with a great (IMHO) home theatre system. Unfortunately, I have to wait until I buy a house before I can really start cranking up the sound... :D
